Witch Special

After the Puppet Army releases a big move, it will enter a cooldown period of dozens of seconds. This time is neither long nor short. If it is a skirmish, the outcome will basically be decided in an instant. But once the battle falls into a stalemate, like now, it only takes a few tactical tugs of war before the CD of the next big move is ready.

So this time, the puppets flashed collectively again, and drew out a hundred extremely dangerous thin lines of space cracks close to the surface of the giant snake, and they specifically chose the most flexible and dishonest position of the snake's head.

After drawing a circle around the giant snake's head with string, all the puppet soldiers turned and ran. The giant snake's head immediately gave chase, but as it moved, it collided firmly with the ring of dense spatial cracks and was instantly cut off.

As the giant snake's head, which was as big as a semi-trailer, was cut off, the monster's body went out of control and began to roll and struggle wildly, its movements completely out of control.

The giant snake seemed to be a stitched creature; its face and the two arms beneath it didn't share the same nerves as the snake's body. The puppet soldiers chopped off the snake's head, only causing its body to lose control, without affecting the face or the two arms holding the lava swords.

But now, that face and the two swords were of no use, because after the giant snake's body lost control of its head, it rolled itself into a knot. Because it had lost control of its strength, those muscles were contracting with all their might, and broke those two skinny and slender arms.

In the end, the giant snake's body curled up into a ball and slowly stopped moving.

It seems that even if a face grows on its body, the snake head is still the vital point of this giant snake. As long as it is cut off, the giant snake will still die.

After killing the giant snake, the puppet army regrouped and continued to advance, passing through the huge underground cave where the ground was almost completely covered by the lava lake, and came to a space further back.

This time, what Lin Zhenxi saw was a real sea of ​​fire. At the bottom of this underground cavity was magma that was constantly surging. The magma was moving violently and looked very dangerous.

But the ambient temperature still did not rise much, which was obviously unscientific. It was as if something absorbed the heat of the magma.

In the center of the lava stood an octagonal pillar, its surface constantly gleaming with a red light. Several bridges were built around it, forming a star-shaped pattern with the prism at its center. The surrounding walls were also engraved with patterns resembling circuit boards, which constantly glowed with yellow and purple light.

Each side of this prism was engraved with the Eight Trigrams and characters. Hayashi Maki had the puppet soldiers circle around it and discovered that the characters engraved on it were the "Qian (?), Kan (?), Gen (?), Zhen (?), Xun (?), Li (?), Kun (?), and Dui (?)" representing the Eight Trigrams.

When the puppet soldiers finished observing the prism, the light ball also gave a prompt, telling Lin Zhenxi that he had completed the occupation of the ruins of the old hell and obtained a gain status.

"Nuclear Fusion Furnace: Gain the power of 'Nuclear Fusion', strengthen the power of sunlight, and unlock the advanced form of the Sun Lance, 'Sun Laser'. Mana capacity increases by 10 times, and mana regeneration speed increases by 99 times. However, if the magic power used in a single use exceeds the total magic power, it will self-destruct."

Wait, what is this? A nuclear fusion furnace? Old Hell? Isn't Old Hell where ghosts gather? How can such a technological thing exist there?

Lin Zhenxi was still thinking this when she suddenly felt the heat around her grow intense. Turning her head, she discovered that all the puppet soldiers around her had transformed into little golden figures blazing with golden flames. Except for their hair not standing up, they looked almost identical to Super Saiyans.

The combination of sunlight and nuclear fusion transformed each of Lin Zhenxi's puppet soldiers into a small sun. Now, it wasn't just their fists and swords that were glowing; every part of their bodies was glowing.

Not only was it glowing, but it was also constantly releasing heat to the surroundings. The reason why Lin Zhenxi felt a wave of heat coming towards her was that the puppet soldiers around her were constantly releasing their light and heat into the surrounding air.

This was like evolving directly from Sunlight Power to Sun Power... They were now essentially little human-shaped suns. In this state, if the puppet army could gather a little more, they could potentially illuminate the entire Festival World once they all took off. How could she quietly advance the map in this situation?

At this moment, another prompt popped up from the light ball, telling Lin Zhenxi that she had occupied the Sanzu River ruins and obtained the corresponding gain status "Repentance Stick".

Okay, the second group has set off and opened.

Then they can't fall behind.

So Lin Zhenxi led his legion directly northward. As for the one hundred puppet soldiers who were still underground, it took too much time to wait for them, so Lin Zhenxi let them find their own way back to the ground and then follow him.

Anyway, Lin Zhenxi has two thousand puppet soldiers on hand, and only one hundred are missing, which doesn't have much impact.

Lin Zhenxi hadn't expected that these one hundred puppet soldiers would immediately give her a big job. Of course, that was a story for the future... well, not much later, but at least it hadn't happened yet.

Anyway, Lin Zhenxi is now heading north with more than 1,900 puppet soldiers in his hands, heading towards the Baiyu Tower.

The road from Hakurei Shrine to Baiyu Tower was almost entirely ancient forest, with no landmarks along the way. Because it was close to the map's edge, even the number of monsters seemed to have decreased.

Of course, it is also possible that the puppet soldiers have become too scary now, and those small monsters don’t even dare to get close to them.

The power of sunlight alone can already be regarded as the nemesis of these distorted monsters eroded by chaos. So what effect will the transformed power of sunlight have on them? I'm afraid it will be like spraying a foam board with a spray gun, melting it on the spot.

Lin Zhenxi also tried to be arrogant and flew up directly with the puppet army.

The scene of nearly two thousand little golden men rising into the air was truly shocking. The entire forest was illuminated, and even the huge eyeball in the sky was clearly visible, even the eyelashes on the eyelids were visible clearly.

Lin Zhenxi estimated that half of the celebration world could see the dazzling light emitted by the two thousand puppet soldiers gathered together.

However, no monsters came all the way to cause trouble for Lin Zhenxi and the others. Only some monsters in the forest that could not bear the scorching sun rushed up and were killed halfway by the long-range attacks of the puppet soldiers.

Lin Zhenxi also witnessed the power of the sunlight laser after the sunlight gun was further upgraded.

This thing... how should I describe it, a zigzag? A charging rifle? Or would Ultraman Beam be a better description?

Anyway, there was no preparation at all. He just pointed his hands forward and a beam of light shot out. It was extremely fast, had a long range, and seemed to be quite powerful. Lin Zhenxi didn't even see what the monsters flying out of the forest looked like before they were blown into ashes by the puppet soldiers' sunlight laser.

This is probably the lowest emission power of the sunlight laser, and the "nuclear fusion furnace" of the old hell provides the puppet soldiers with almost unlimited magic recovery ability, so once they are fully activated, the power of the sunlight laser will be absolutely terrifying.

Lin Zhenxi was now looking at the giant eyeball above her head, feeling a bit eager to try. What if she had the puppet soldier fire a full-strength sunlight laser at that eyeball? Would it explode directly?

Oh no, once this thought comes up, I can't stop it. I really want to shoot my mother.

But Lin Zhenxi felt that if the giant eyeball in the sky exploded, the game would be cleared immediately. This was because the requirements for clearing the Taixiao difficulty were different from the previous ones. It was to [eradicate the influence of "Deep Chaos" on the world], not [destroy the lair of the Ash's followers].

The biggest difference between the "Wai Xiao" difficulty and the previous three is the big eyeball in the sky. So Lin Zhenxi feels that this "deep chaos" actually refers to the big eyeball in the sky. As long as it is blown up, the "Wai Xiao" difficulty should be cleared.

However, the big eyeball is hanging high in the sky, and ordinary soldiers can't hit it at all. Flying soldiers are generally not very aggressive, so ordinary players basically stop here because they don't have enough strong abilities to make skill cards to equip their soldiers.

So far, the players who had cleared the Moon-Watching difficulty level on the leaderboard were all prominent figures in the Garden of the Dead, and without exception, they all possessed exceptional individual strength. Players like Lin Zhenxi, who wasn't particularly strong themselves but had crafted skill cards with impressive attributes, had never appeared before.

Ordinary players are basically discouraged from playing at the night-time difficulty level. The soldier groups in the custom soldier library are all tailored to the strengths of the strong players who participated in the celebration game. Even if ordinary players copy the soldier groups of the big guys, they do not have the strength to cooperate with them.

If nothing else, the mere fact of "flying" is enough to weed out any random idiots who come to join in the fun. While the Garden of the Dead is full of monsters, and any little goblin on the sidewalk can fly, there aren't many people who can fly and have the intelligence to figure out the mechanics of a celebration game. Participation is more important, and the "Waiting for the Night" difficulty is the end of the road for these players.

If Lin Zhenxi had not mastered space cutting before participating in the celebration game, if she had not gone to find the old hell, even if her puppet soldiers had the power of sunlight, they would probably be stuck at the difficulty of waiting for the night, and could only pass the level by waiting for time and relying on the special mechanism of the sunflower field to get the special ending of "the sun rises from the west".

But there are not so many ifs in reality. After owning the "nuclear fusion furnace" of the old hell, waiting for the night is no longer difficult for Lin Zhenxi.

So next, let’s do some speedrunning.
